Description
Summary:This Masters thesis outlines the application of machine learning techniques, predominantly deep learning techniques, towards certain aspects of particle physics. Its two main aims: particle identification and high energy physics detector simulations are pertinent to research avenues pursued by physicists working with the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Transition Radiation Detector (TRD), within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research).
